the prince georges county animal management division is rescue-friendly! We are pleased to work with many rescue organizations. If you are a 501(c)(3) rescue and can help us get our dogs to safety, please call 301-499-8300 and ask to speak to the rescue coordinator. Thank you!

adopting an animal
we are looking for great families for our wonderful animals! If you are thinking of adopting, now is the time. If you visit us and don't find the right animal for your home, please ask the adoption staff about submitting an open application. It gets you approved to adopt without listing a particular animal. Then, when the right animal is available, the application processing time is greatly reduced, since you already completed it!

Not sure were the $120 came from

But here is what is listed on the website:

Adoption fees
for dogs $15
for cats $10
license (for pg residents) $25 for unaltered dogs and cats
license (for pg residents) $5 for altered dogs and cats
microchip fee $15 for dogs and cats

all animals adopted from the animal management facility are spayed and neutered before they leave.
Spay/neuter (alter) fee:
$60 for male dogs
$70 for female dogs
$25 for male cats
$40 for female cats

the 120.00 is the sixty plus the additional cost you have for fixing them license micro chip

Have you called United Yorkie Rescue - I'm sure you have.

I will also donate money for these babies. Please keep me posted.

That picture broke my heart.

God bless you all for helping these yorkies. Thank you!

I would be willing to donate funds to rescue them, just let me know.

Ashley V · 01-29-2009, 07:16 PM

I live in VA... fairly close to PG county. I can't pay for the adoption fees or any medical attention though since my hubby doesn't have a job, but I can offer a house for a couple days and maybe someone can get them from there?

chloesMama · 01-29-2009, 07:47 PM

I am also in Maryland. I tried to call earlier to see if they were still available and about their medical conditions , but they were closed .

I couldn't get any additional info from the recording except some other numbers to call.The adoption coordinator is 301-499-8315 and general adoption inquiries are 301-499-8302 .

It said anyone interested would have to fill out an application bring I.D. for address verification ( and a note from a landlord if renting) and be approved , it is up to a 10 day process...So I was taking from that they were a no kill shelter , but I didn't get to speak with anyone directly.I will try again tomorrow.

That picture broke my heart

No I have not posted there. I've already posted 2 times and thought a 3rd would be pushing it.

Best of luck with this; that picture just haunts me. She looks like such a little sweetheart.

ging4444 · 01-29-2009, 08:49 PM

I live in Maryland and just emailed a rescue to see if they can take her. Unfortunately I am in the middle of tax season working 12 hour days or I would be up there as soon as they open. I told the rescue I will go up there and pay all the fees. They are a wonderful yorkie rescue in the northeast and will take wonderful care of her. I will keep you updated when I hear something. I will call first thing in the morning. I'll never be able to sleep tonight, she is going to haunt me.

morgan111 · 01-29-2009, 08:55 PM

cheryl19 · 01-30-2009, 02:54 AM

Ok finally got through to talk to a person. They said a yorkie rescue is arranging with their vet to take her but won't tell me the name of the rescue. She was found as a stray and has various medical issues and has to have her eye removed also. I left my information with them and told them if the rescue falls through for some reason either me personally or another rescue will take her so they are going to call me. Here is what I was told from the rescue I contacted:
"I know how sad that little Yorkie girl looks in her picture. Rescuers' hearts break just looking at little dogs like her and there are so many. Our Dudley is similar. We keep hoping someone will see them for the good dog they are and give them a home just to be in until the end. I don't want to be hard hearted, but this is the dog that the public wants to avoid. They don't want to see her, know about her, ask for her or take her home. Only a rescue person would take this dog and adopt it. And most of us already have at least one dog just like her. Ask Deb - she has crazy Bailey. I have one eyed one tooth Max. Could you take her in?"
I am in tax season, working minimum 12 hours a day which includes weekends. I just have no time and this dog is going to need a lot of attention and love. I will follow through though to see what happens. The fee is $130 but I don't care about that, I just want to see her taken care of. I hardly got any sleep last night, she is just haunting me. I don't understand why they wouldn't tell me the name of the rescue.

carmengamble · 01-30-2009, 09:30 AM

I can donate some money as well, someone please adopt these cuties!

dlross · 01-30-2009, 09:34 AM

I'm sending around the picture to see if there is anything we can do here and if possible is she able to fly to Calgary Canada, which from Maryland would be a 6-7 hr flight. I've also have been heart broken over this. I will try my best to find help for her. Being sending mass emails out to see if there is anyone with a heart to help get her.
